The problem of the structural identification becomes important, particularly with relation to the rapid increase of the number of the damaged or deteriorated structures, such as highway bridges, buildings, and industrial facilities. This paper summarizes the recent studies related to those problems by the present authors. The system identfication methods are generally classified as the time domain and the frequency domain methods. As time doamin methods, the sequential algorithms such as the extended Kalman filter and the sequential prediction error method are studied. Several techniques for improving the convergences are incorporated. As frequency domain methods, a new frequency response function estimator is introduced. For damage estimation of existing structures, the modal perturbation and the sensitivity matrix methods are studied. From the example analysis, it has been found that the combined utilization of the measurement data for the static response and the dynamic (modal) properties are very effictive for the damage estimation.

In this paper we propose a method that improves PSNR at low bit rate and reduces computational complexity in fractal image coding based on discrete wavelet transform. The proposed method, which uses significant coefficient tree, improves PSNR of the reconstructed image and reduces computational comlexity of mapping domain block onto range block by matching only the significant coefficients of range block to coefficients of domain block. Also, the proposed method reduces error propagation form lower resolution subbands to higher resolution subbands by correcting error of lower resolution subbands. Some experimental results confirm that the proposed method reduces encoding and decoding time significantly and has fine reconstructed images having no blocking effect and clear edges at low bit rate.

This paper considers the numerical computation of added resistance on ships in the presence of incident waves. As a method of solution, a higher-order Rankine panel method is applied in time domain. The added resistance is evaluated by integrating the second-order pressure on the body surface. Computational results are validated by comparing with experimental data and other computational results on a hemi-sphere, a barge, Wigley hull models, and Series 60 hull, showing very fair agreements. The study is extended to the comparison between Neumann-Kelvin and double-body linearization approaches, and their differences are discussed.

자연하천에서의 흐름특성을 해석하기 위해 Boundary - fitted(BF) coordinate system을 응용하여 유한차분법에 의한 2차원모델을 개발하였다. BF coordinates는 경계면의 형상에 관계없이 적용할 수 있으며 모든 계산은 기본식의 좌표변환을 통해 직각좌표계에서 행해지므로 경계조건의 입력에 용이하다. Physical domain(X - Y 좌표계)에서 하천의 형상을 입력하면 Grid generation에 의해 모든 계산은 Computational domain($\varepsilon$ - n 좌표계)에서 행해진다. Computational domain에서의 유한차분법은 half - time step으로 ADI 방법을 이용했고, 한 방향의 유속과 수위를 Double sweep으로 풀었다. 유속, 수위 및 하상의 격점망은 Staggered grid system을 사용했으며 geometric elements는 각 격점별로 계산하였다. 본 모델을 이용하므로써 불규칙한 수로나 하천의 흐름상태를 해석할 수 있으므로 흐름의 종단, 횡단방향의 유속분포, Superelevation을 구할 수 있고 하천의 계획, 관리, 제방의 호안이나 구조물의 설치등으로 일어나는 수리학적 영향등을 예측할 수 있다.

The radar method is becoming one of the major nondestructive testing(NDT) techniques lot concrete structures. Numerical modeling of electromagnetic wane is needed to analyze radar measurement results. Finite difference-time domain(FD-TD) method can be used to simulate electromagnetic wave propagation through concrete specimens. Five concrete specimens with different thickness are modeled in 3-dimension. Radar modeling results compare measurement results to find backface of the concrete specimens and measure thickness of the concrete specimens.

Transient aerodynamic response of an airfoil to a moving plane-flap is numerically investigated using the two-dimensional Euler equations with conservative Chimera grid method. A body moving relative to a stationary grid is treated by an overset grid bounded by a 'Dynamic Domain Dividing Line' which has an advantage for constructing a well-defined hole-cutting boundary. A conservative Chimera grid method with the dynamic domain-dividing line technique is applied and validated by solving the flowfield around a circular cylinder moving supersonic speed. The unsteady and transient characteristics of the flow solver are also examined by computations of an oscillating airfoil and a ramp pitching airfoil respectively. The transient aerodynamic behavior of an airfoil with a moving plane-flap is analyzed for various flow conditions such as deflecting rate of flap and free stream Mach number.

In order to study noise barriers of complex shapes and to assess their efficiency, precise prediction model is required. For instance, geometrical approaches cannot deal with complex diffraction effects. So that in this paper, the time domain numerical computation method(Computational Aeroacoustics method) is applied to estimate noise reduction by diffraction and finite impedance condition. The CAA method can be used to calculate exactly the pressure of complex barrier shape with different impedance condition, such as T-shape, cylindrical edge and multi-edge noise barriers.

Tight integration between design and analysis processes and the data representation in the ship design application domain have been studied in this paper. Multi-Representation Architecture for design and analysis integration, proposed at Georgia Institute of Technology, has been carefully investigated for the application in the initial ship design stage. The MRA approach facilitates efficient generation of analysis models from the initial ship design data, thus reducing design lead time. Easy generation of analysis model is important because it allows quick analysis iteration under frequent design changes. The SMM, ABB and PBAM are defined for the analysis model of the typical ship structure. Only a part of the typical initial ship design data has been considered in the experimental implementation of the proposed approach. However, the prototype implementation shows that the application of MRA approach in the structural ship design domain is quite feasible. It is also contemplated that the same approach can be extended for other design and analysis views in the ship design domain.

A Meshfree is a method used to establish algebraic equations of system for the whole problem domain without the use of a predefined mesh for the domain discretization. A point interpolation method is based on combining radial and polynomial basis functions. Involvement of radial basis functions overcomes possible singularity. Furthermore, the interpolation function passes through all scattered points in an influence domain and thus shape functions are of delta function property. This makes the implementation of essential boundary conditions much easier than the meshfree methods based on the moving least-squares approximation. This study aims to investigate a stress analysis of structural element between a meshfree method and the finite element method. Examples on cantilever type plate and stress concentration problems show that the accuracy and convergence rate of the meshfree methods are high.

A boundary element method which utilizes the fundamental solution in the half plane is developed to analyze the multi-layered elastic media. The objective of this study is to derive numerically the fundamental solutions and to apply those to the exterior multi-layered domain problems. To obtain numerical fundamental solutions of multi-layered structural system, the same number of solutions as that of layers in Fourier transform domain are employed. The numerical integration technique is used in order to inverse the Fourier transform solution to real domain. To verify the proposed boundary element method, two examples are treated: (1) a circular hole near the surface of a half plane; and (2) a circular cavity within one layer of four layered half plane.
